You: The lottery scam involves fake notices of lottery wins. The winner is usually asked to send sensitive information to a free e-mail account. The scammer then notifies the victim that releasing the funds requires some small fee (insurance, registration, or shipping). Once the victim sends the fee, the scammer invents another fee.

Anyway, he sent me some emails on this and doing some googling it appears that the scammer is also sending out SMS messages with this scam.. Hm.. Thats not very common is it?

Hes also sent all his details to the scammer, so I told him to stop contacting him and hopefully he will.

I'll see if I can get in contact with the scammer and start a bait, then i'll update on that too despite lottery lads being a pain in the arse to bait I don't have much expectations for this one. We'll see...

Great work there dx064. You've saved a victim and deprived the low life scammer of his pay day.
